Fast success in Hollywood brings a cavalier party lifestyle, which led to shocking scandals such as Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle's trial and subsequent acquittal for manslaughter. To tone down the image of Hollywood and curtail films with footage unsuitable to all audiences, Will H. Hays is appointed and introduces Hollywood's self regulated Production Code, which would be enforced well into the 1960s, while filmmakers still found creative ways to present 'adult' situations. Interviews include King Vidor and Gloria Swanson.

These videos are really historical treasures from those who lived them, always reinforcing that times change but people don't. Thank you!

It makes me so angry how they did that to Arbuckle. To ruin a man's name without cause is a horrible sin.

Rascoe was not enormously fat, plus he wore clothes too small to make him look fatter. It is generally agreed nowadays he was innocent after being tried three times and apologised to by the judge, Hearst and his Scandal Sheets ruined his career and life. Those in the industry were behind Fatty.

Roscoe became too successful and had to be brought down. Thats what happened It happened then and it still happens today. If ,for whatever reason, its thought you are too successful there are members of society that will finish you. Roscoe Arbuckle was completely innocent but the censors cancelled his movies,used him as a scapegoat and his career was finished.Yet he did nothing wrong

If you get the chance check out Colleen Moores dolls house. I used to love to check out her book from the library. It’s on display at the Chicago museum of science of industry. I loved old Hollywood. I guess many coming from Poverty really Enjoyed their wealth, created A lot of jobs with their ostentatious life of luxury and really seemed to enjoy theirs fans.

That’s what acting is. It is adult make believe with a social purpose. It’s no different or any more or less pure than any from any other area of life. You’re issue isn’t really with “Hollywood” or the entertainment history; it’s with human beings.

But I can't understand the Production Code, not approving the movie "The Moon is Blue"? I read the entire script of the Broadway play its based on, and its squeaky clean; (that's my opinion). I'll even let a 5 year old see it (they'll be bored by it, though).

Is there any information regarding this, to the best of my knowledge the Hays Code was very explicit in forbidding any insinuation of interracial relationships. Imitation of Life (1934) was rejected numerous times by Hays Code censor Jospeh Breen on the basis of the mixed race protagonist. I can find no information regarding the Hays Code's objection to racist films, if there is I'd love to know.
